/ Trivia:	After three seasons of 13 episodes each, `~1302~` refused to return for a fourth because he believed the show was becoming repetitious and had run out of ideas. The rest of the cast only managed to produce a final fourth season of just six episodes without him. The Pythons did almost all of their own stunts, including `~8929~` (a qualified mountaineer) reading a sketch while hanging upside-down on a rope, and `~8930~` plummeting 15 feet into a canal in @#The Fish-Slapping Dance#@ after `~1302~` smacks him in the head with a trout. Ranked #5 in @##TV Guide##@'s list of the @#25 Top Cult Shows Ever!#@ (30 May 2004 issue). At least two sketches can trace their origins back to @%How to Irritate People%@, a TV special that `~1302~` starred in and wrote with `~8929~` prior to @##Flying Circus##@. First, the @#Silly Job Interview#@ in which Cleese rings a bell and has people scoring Chapman's reaction came directly from the special. Also the infamous/famous @#Parrot Sketch#@ was adapted largely from a sketch Chapman wrote for the earlier show about a car salesman who flatly refused to admit that there was anything wrong with the car that was literally falling apart on stage. Following a television interview in which `~8929~` mentioned (not for the first time) that he was a homosexual, the Pythons received a letter from an enraged woman who said she heard an "anonymous" member of Monty Python had confessed to being gay. She enclosed several pages of prayers for his salvation and said that if he repeated them every single day he might acquire some form of purgatory. `~909~` replied to her saying that they had found out who it was and had stoned him. Shortly thereafter, `~1302~` left the show for the last season. The woman never wrote back. `~1038~` was a huge fan of the Pythons. He appeared in one sketch, as himself appearing on a chat show hosted by the "It's" man (`~8930~`). The Pythons wrote all of their sketches in teams. Cambridge graduates `~1302~` and `~8929~` wrote together, as did Oxford men `~7900~` and `~8930~`. `~909~`, another Cambridge alumnus, wrote alone. "Links" between sketches were the only pieces written by the entire group collectively. Animator `~907~` worked independently of the five core members, but joined them for writers' meetings to help them piece it all together and act as a sort of test audience. The head of comedy at the BBC said that the title had to include the word "Circus", because the people at the BBC had referred to the six cast members wandering around the BBC offices as a circus, so they added "Flying" to make it sound less like a real circus and more like something out of the first world war. And in front of that, added "Monty Python" because it sounded like a really bad theatrical agent, and also that the large, constricting snake was appropriate imagery. The theme music is the concluding portion of `~John Philip Sousa~`'s @#Liberty Bell March#@. Reportedly, one of the chief reasons the song was used is that it was in the public domain and no royalties would have to be paid (the opening part of the march makes an appearance in the @##James Bond##@ film @%Octopussy%@). Other possible names for the series were @##Gwen Dibley's Flying Circus##@, @##Owl-Stretching Time##@ (which was used as the name for one episode), @##Bun, Whackett, Buzzard, Stubble and Boot##@, @##A Toad Elevating Moment##@, @##Sex and Violence##@, @##A Horse, a Bucket and a Spoon##@. One early working title for the series was simply, @##It's...##@
